I left the pantry open and Bella ate an entire can of Spam! Should I be freaking out? Is this dangerous for her? Do I need to call a vet right now? She's acting fine, but I'm really worried.

Hey there! I totally understand why you'd be worried about Bella gobbling up a whole can of Spam. The good news is that while Spam isn't the healthiest snack for dogs due to its high salt and fat content, it’s not usually toxic in a one-time situation like this.

Here's what to watch for:

• Vomiting or diarrhea: These might happen if her tummy is upset from all that rich food.
• Excessive thirst or urination: High salt content can lead to increased thirst.
• Lethargy or restlessness: Not feeling like her usual self can signal discomfort.

Keep an eye on Bella over the next 24 hours. Make sure she has plenty of water available to help flush everything through her system. If she seems fine and her behavior is normal, you probably don’t need to worry too much.

However, if she shows any severe symptoms like repeated vomiting, diarrhea, signs of pain, or bloating, that’s when it's best to get in touch with a vet right away. Consuming anything in extreme amounts (like Spam) can be tough on a dog’s system.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
